MPN AA inviting donations for MPN research
The MPN AA is incredibly proud to resume fundraising for MPN research.
Hope starts with research! While brilliant Australian researchers are already undertaking MPN research, so much more could be achieved towards a cure if more funding was available.
So the MPN AA team of patient volunteers is now able to raise funds to primarily support MPN research, as well as to enhance our provision of quality, evidence based information and support to patients and their families.
If you would like to support breakthrough MPN research, please DONATE HERE
